but now whenver i launch windvd4 by itself or from dvdgenie, i get repeatedly prompted for region selection in windvd4... if i select region and click okay, all it does it popup the region selection dialogue again... select region again and it prompts for the region selection again...

if i use Powerdvd there is not problem... but before i swapped my hardware windvd4 worked fine... and it works fine on my other pc running the same pioneer drive but with windvd 3
